Peninsula Valides

---

After a luxurious overnight coach trip (full reclining seats, food, wine, films, not what buses are like back home) we arrived in Puerto Madryn (about half way down Argentina on the atlantic coast) which is rather like a windier version of Skegness. After a night we jumped ship to Peurto Piramides, a village surrounded by sand dunes on the peninsula its self and much more pleasant. Managed to convince Em to go snorkelling (before she found out that there was a sea lion colony just around the corner and the area is known for Killer Whales) and have also been deep sea fishing with some friends from home (Ben and Subhani, who were going to be travelling with for the next month or so). Angus is still miffed he caught absolutely no fish and is reminiscing about the 'one that got away which was definately a hundred pound Marlin', just to rub it in Emily caught a 3kg wopper (see photo). The area is full of amazing wildlife and some pretty good scenery, so far we´ve seen sea lions, elephant seals, penguins, guanacos and even a couple of armadillos.

Catch of the day
Note the marigolds - Emily is allergic to fish. Tasted pretty good when bbq´d but unfortunately Em had to make do with burgers, all the more for me.

Why, when you ask passers by to take a photo of you, do they never manage to take a good one?

Re. Bad picture taking by passers- by
Well Angus, they can only work with the material they are given. Emily looks lovely.
